A couple of weeks ago I posted a slightly scathing, but good humoured,
article about the problems being caused by our buggy X.25 daemon on our
S81, which caused fairly regular unkillable zombies (they would only die
when the X.25 daemon was restarted). 

Gosh! The response was most impressive.  Someone somewhere must have
kicked ass because within DAYS we had a new, bugfixed X.25 daemon, and I
am pleased to report that, so far, it is performing beautifully, with no
more zombie logins appearing. 

Thank you Sequent, for getting it together. Thanks in particular to Dean
Phetteplace (hope spelling's correct) for starting the ball rolling with
the followup phone call from Portland. Oh, and thank Me for posting the
article :-)

Cheers!
